A rail road crossing and bridge, Pickerington Ohio. I was required to take a different route to school one day. I ended up on the tracks for a while. Luckily there were not trains. The color, and effect were all natural.
Taken with one of my Pentax 35MM film cameras.

I liked the tracks in the sand but the sky was grey and lifeless. A little tintype process saved it from the bin.
Tintype
The process was first described by Adolphe-Alexandre Martin in France in 1853, and patented in the United States on February 19, 1856 by Hamilton Smith, professor at Kenyon College, in Ohio. William Kloen also patented the process in the United Kingdom in the same year.
It was first called melainotype, and then ferrotype (by a rival manufacturer of the iron plates used); finally came the name tintype.
All three names describe both the process and the resulting photograph.
While the ambrotype remained very popular in the rest of the world, the tintype process had superseded the ambrotype in the United States by the end of the Civil War. It became the most common photographic process until the introduction of modern, gelatin-based processes and the invention of the reloadable amateur camera by the Kodak company. Ferrotypes had waned in popularity by the end of the 19th century, although a few makers were still around as late as the 1950s and the images are still made as novelties at some European carnivals. -/- from Wikipedia.
The extra backs down the siding to the waiting string of stored cars. A handful of these cars will be selected and brought east, the others will have to settle for knocking some of the rust off the wheels. October 10, 2019.
This is a continuation from my photo travels the other day. I headed into town after being happy with my tree find. I originally went into town to finally pick up a game for my PS3, but something compelled me to drive to a parking lot and walk the railroad tracks. I am glad I did.
This marks the second time I have roamed the tracks in downtown Madison. This trip brought me to a bridge that crosses a small river. The fog was insane and really added to the atmosphere here. I snagged a few shots with many Stephen King books roaming through my mind. It is really amazing just how much fog can change the mood of a scene.
I really debated on making this a black and white photo. I choose not to in order to preserve the rusty tracks. Some photos I take instantly tell me what I need to do for processing. This happens to be just one of those photos.
Enjoy!

Monday 4th September 2006. As often as not there is a track machine in a siding adjacent to Barnetby Station. They seem to remain there all day with nothing to do except run their engines and waste fuel. On this day it was DR75303.
Tracking display in one of the launch and guidance control vans. Nike Hercules Site SF-88L is at the center, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area is represented clearly.
Obsolete today, selenium rectifiers were commonly used in military and civilian electronic equipment during the service life of the Nike Hercules system. While they were more reliable than vacuum tube rectifiers, this warning is a testament to the hazards they could pose when they did fail.
Nike Hercules Site SF-88L, the only restored Nike Hercules launch site in the United States. It is located within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, California, north of San Francisco.

Time - 4 hrs - return, one river crossing.
A well formed track leads up through the scenic Tiropahi Gorge to an open pakihi, with fine views of the Paparoa tops in clear weather. Along the way are several access points to the riverbed with numerous deep swimming holes amidst massive water-worn limestone rocks. Near the top end are some traces of an old sawmill once served by a horse tramway which ran along the formation of todays walking track. Take care on the slippery mudstone.
Access: The track is sign posted from the main road, 20km north of Punakaiki, a short distance brfore the Tiropahi bridge. It starts across a wide ford from the end of the access road.

Until 1988 countless Lightnings & other aircraft taxied along this track, turned left (just in sight) onto the runway at RAF Binbrook Lincolnshire. If the wind was blowing in from the coast, the aircraft took off & landed in the opposite direction & would have taxied back in along here. Very sad to see the airfield dissused, as I can remember how it used to be when it was a busy front line base.
